From the Cushion to the Streets

With Leslie Booker and Elaine Retholtz

Hosted by 

New York Insight Meditation Center

From the Organizer:

There is a long history of folks using their spiritual practice as a foundation and catalyst for activism, and an equally long history of folks who realize that they need a spiritual practice to sustain their engagement. Marrying these two together is an art and practice that is both skillful and necessary. During this daylong retreat workshop on engaging with the world, there will be time to practice together, time to connect with others, and time to engage in reflective processes to help us understand how we can best show up at this moment in time.

New York Insight Meditation Center  is the host of this event. Please contact them with any questions.
